Celebrating with friends for the 4th of July I was pleasantly surprised in the mid to late afternoon by this C-17 flying over near Rialto airport.

I like the NATO tail flash, pretty cool!  Nice flyover shots of the March bird Smiley

Yeah I just found the story and was going to post it.  Thanks.  Hope they order a few to help the LBC (Long Beach-Boeing) with keeping jobs a bit longer.

Canada's CC-177 (oddly enough being flown by a USAF Lt. Col. on exchange) flying under some not so friendly looking skies.

Another suprise, they pulled the second C-17 for Qutar out of the paint booth, with the coolest paint job paint job on a C-17. Now only if the USAF would do this to some of their C-17's

It turns out that as a contract instructor I'm required to fly once a year, so I did the usual!
